CommunityFair-amount Food Forest is an initiative to create an open-harvest, community-driven, and community-defined public food forest. The forest will foster teamwork, leadership, and community resiliency. This project will be accomplished with transparent and inclusive community input and process, and an organizational and volunteer structure that can include all of Philadelphia in a fun, social, artistic, and productive manner. This is a tangible solution to many issues of our times, and is easy for anyone to engage in. Please contact us to help bring it to fruition!

EnvironmentIn the food forest, every kind of food you can grow is planted in mimicry of a woodland ecosystem and integrated with extensive demonstrations of sustainability. It is centered around teaching people how to grow food, protect pollinators, sequester carbon, address water issues, health, and food justice.

EducationThe food forest is educational. There will be demonstrations of a wide variety of food production and gardening techniques, sustainable infrastructure, and self-sufficiency with extensive signage. Workshops and school tours are to be hosted, and there is the potential for groups to adopt a section of this community powered learning laboratory.
